When they say ".. browser-targeting attacks shrank from 45 per cent to just 14 per cent of the total seen by Kaspersky." do they mean that they saw a decrease in the use of these attacks or just that the sheer number of new office based attacks brought the percentage down?

I mean if there are 100 attacks last month and 45 of them were browser based, but this month there was suddenly 500 attacks of which 70 were browser based, that doesnt really mean that browswer based attacks are on the way out, just that the office based attacks really kicked off.

Just curious...
